IDAHO AND NEVADA.

The San Francisco Chronicle OF March
3 has the following: A plan has been
mooted to divide the Territory Of Idaho
and cancel its Territorial existence by
giving the northern portion of the Terri
tory to Washington Territory and the
remainder to the State of Nevada.
Many advantages are claimed for this
scheme, and it seems as If the proposed
change might be beneficial to all con-
cerned. The portion which it is pro-
posed to add to Washington Territory is
q long, narrow strip, bounded on the
north by British Columbia, on the east
by Montana and on the west by Wash.
ington, and really forms a more appro-
pirate part, geographically, of Washing
ton than of Idaho.
The southern portion of Idaho is
Joined on the south by Nevada and
Utah, and there is no question of bound.
airy which could seriously interfere with
it's junction with Nevada. The ad.
vantages claimed for the surrender Of
the present, Territorial government and
the absorption of another Territory and
State are these: The northern strip be.
ing Joined to Washington will receive
the benefits Of the proposed admission OF
the latter as a State. a change which
cannot be long postponed. An earnest
effort is being made for the admission of
Washington Territory, and the increase
of population and extension of bounda-
ries will aid in accomplishing her admis.
sion. As to the southern portion the
benefits to be derived are two.fold. The
junction with Nevada at once put
Southern Idaho ON the footing Of q State
and at the same time increase the terri
tory, population and resources of Ne
vada. Instead Of having to go through
the long and tedious process of making
an application for admission into the
sisterhood of States, Southern Idaho, as
an integral portion of Nevada, would at
once receive all the benefits and ad-
vantages of State government, merely by
the sacrifice of q name and the surrender
of that inefficient, unsatisfactory sort Of
q rule which is the best that can be had
under Territorial organization. The his
tory Of the admission Of Nevada into
the Union needs no repetition. 1t is
enough to know that at the present time
she is not, within the spirit of the Con.
~stitution, entitled to the rights and priv.
ileges of a State. Her population. ow.
ing principally to the exhaustion of her
mines, has become materially diminished
and her wealth lessened. The addition
of new territory, rich in mineral wealth,
and an increased population. would re-
store her to her former status and make
her in reality as in name a State. We
are informed that the people of Idaho
would, with few exceptions. favor the
proposed change. 1t would throw out Of
employment some oficeholders, Federal
and Territorial, but if they are the men
for the country their chance for political
advancement would be quite as good in
the State of Nevada IS in the Territory
OF Idaho; and if they are not. the sooner
they seek a more congenial cline the
better for the people, whether of State
or Territory.

Yankton Press, 26: The first installment
Of chinch pugs ever seen in Yankton
struck this city today, and for so small
an insect the bug is exciting great deal
of criticism and abuse. The bug is not
fer cious looking arrangement. but
people who have had experience with him
say he is successful destroyer OF wheat.
A reporter. after considerable running
lassoed one of the monsters on Douglas
avenue and without the aid Of micro
scope the pest was sized up. The bug is
about a sixteenth OF an inch long, and has
two wings and six legs. The color is
dark green, with an oval white spot on
each wing. His eyes have a wicked gleam
and his under jaw denotes unlimited chew
ing qualities. He smells like bed bug.
In the vicinity Of the insane hospital
millions Of these bugs have assembled.
They are too late to do any damage this
year. They thrive best on small grain
and do comparatively little damage to corn
As they will next season exhibit their des-
tructiye tendencies in this section it will
be well for cur farmers to omit their small
grain and indulge mostly In corn.

The Ohio Republican convention at To-
ledo last week renomi,ated Governor For
aker by acclanation. The convention
unanimously endorsed John Sherman for
Ohio's presidential candidate in 1883, and
included in its platform the following
tribute to "uHfaltering loyalty ana long
services Of John Sherman, whose genius
and patriotism were established on the
statutes and constitution Of the country
and presents his name to the people OF
the United States as q candidate for presi-
dent, assuring them Of our hearty and
cordial support, snd believing his nomina.
ton to be wise and judicious."
We had the pleasure Of listening to
speeches by both Foraker and Sherman
last fall while on a visit to Ohio. The
sentiment at that time among Republicans
was stronger for Sherman than ever be-
fore accorded any man in the state, and
the conventions actions give the lie to the
Toledo Blades figures. published last
week, which declared Blaine to be Ohio's s
favorite over Sherman.

ARrESIAN WELLS

The law passed by the territorial legis-
lature lart winter permits the establish
ment and maintenance of wells and water
courses therefrom by the assessment OF
taxes on the property Of townships where
located or through which the water is run.
Under the new law the Probate Judge
is tx-officio artssian well commissioner
and shall have jurisdiction over all arte-
san wells in the county. Applications for
artesian wells under this law must be
made to him, of which he must keep a
record. The application must be signed
by not less than FIVE freeholders VI the
townships in which such artesian wells
or the lanis to be benefited and assessed
may be situated, and give general des-
cription Of the beginning and terminus
thereof. The applicants are liable for
commissioners fees, surveying and all
costs if he deem the project impractica-
BILE. In case the commissioner approves
the application the right Of way is secured
by gift and damages as in case of rail-
roads; name Is given the well, by which
| it is known and advertisements are
placed in one or more papers for pro-
posals, as i'm case Of erection Of school
houses. The commissioner makes the
assessment of taxes for the well, provides
for the time OF payment and let's the con-
tract to the lowest responsible bidder.
His supervision also extends to any water
course or ditch connected for the pur-
pose Of drainage. The commissioner is
required to make an annual report to the
county commissioners. He will receive
| 50 day for actual services.

the central and Cavalier on the north
The only locality reporting q lack Of
moisture is the Bismarck signal station
Wheat will average half crop there corr
stands at 100 and vegetables and all 100,
crops are nearly perfect. Corn is a per.
feet crop in twenty-one counties, and
over 30 per cent in forty-two counties. In
what has alway been an exclusive wheat
region north of the forty sixth parallel
corn is the best this year.
The Commissioner of Immigration
summarizing the report says: For the
first three weeks in June there was a de-
ficency in the rainfall, which, t,getlle
with unusually warm weather, caused
farmers no little anxiety. However, good
soaking rains during the latter part OF
the month continuing in July, have
wrought a wonderful change. In the
tabulated report of counties the following
figures represent Hand county: wheat SC
per cent, Zone half crop), corn 100, per
fect), eats 70, rye rs. barley so, fax IS,
hay so, vegetables 100.
IL the report from this county is q cri-
terion, the compilation of the commh :
sioner is not very reliable, and an incon-
sistency is at once manifest. Continuing
the general summary the commissioner
says: ut is now safe to predict the aver
age yield OF cereals for the territory as O
whole fully up to, il it dees not exceed,
that of anv previous year. In few To-
calities the crop of small grain has been
seriously injured by prolonged drouah,
gopher pests and other unfortunate cir
cumstances."
II is well known tact here that Hand
county has experienced no injury from
drouth, or pests; that our only affcctation
of crops was slight and in streaks, re-
sulting from the late June frost. Thus
while this county has had as propitious
weather as other sections, our wheat crop
is reported as only one-half, which we
are reasonably certain is an error. If the
wheat crop of this county does not reach
rs per cent of perfect crop this year,
We may as well discontinue any further
attempt at wheat raising, especially when
we consider only three counties out OF 76
report less per cent, while the greater
portion report from 50 to 100 per cent.
The deduction is only natural that the
Hand county reporter gained his impress
sion from limited scope, or else he was
over conscientious in placing Hand coun-
tvs wheat crop at only one-half that of
some other portions of tho territory.
Likewise was an injustice done the
county in reporting the hay at one half
crop. Only this week farmer who has
Travelled over a considerable portion Of
Hand county, suggested to us the advisa-
bilIty Of extensively advertising the fact
that We have an immense hay crop. and
can cheaply feed thousands of head of
stock more than those at present in the
county.
An average Of the farmers report sent
in from this county obtains II 81 per
cent on the seven products. This We
believe to be an error of fully 25 per
cent. upon wheat and IS on hay, which
would give us 80 per ceut.. approximating
a correct report for the entire production
OF Hand county.

ANoTHea GREAT DISCOVERY.
The Process by which Every Man Mag
Become ''His Own Life Preserver."


[Chlcago Timesl
The inventor Is a medical man, who was
led to his final discovery by experiments on
animals He found that he could force the
air under the skin of q dog TO an extent
which would make impossible its sinking in
water. This very naturally led TO the sug-
gestion that what was Of valuo IN the case
OF dog was of equal utility In the case of q
human being. He proceeded to infate the
spaces beneath the skin OF human subjects.
with the hsppiest consequences, which
culminatel in what Is termei, alife-sav-
ing from drowning by self initiation"
His process consists in making O small
opening In the mucous membrane Of the
mouth from which communication Is OBJ
tanned with the subcutaneous spaces Of the
neck When the puncture Is made the per-
son closes bis mouth an Il nose, and makes a
succession OF forcible expiratory efforts,
when the mir contained in tho cavity OF the
mouth will pass freely into the subcutaneous
cIvity OF the neck These expratory efforts,
in pration being effected through the nos
trils should be continued until the skin Is
fully distendsd with air, which will readily
pass TO both siies OF the mock, and down tho
Ghost as far as the nipples" Il is stated the
average neck can, without being ul-
duly distended, be Undated enough to
support ten pounds, which Is sufficient
to support body In the water. Only three
minutes arc required for imitation; the ar
is kert unier the kin by pressing the fn8r
on the cheek Immediately over the pun snrs,
or by keeping tho mouth full of air. The
discoverer says tho operation Is almost
painless, perfectly harmless, and may be i'm
mediately recovered from; that It can bs
learned in few minutes, and accomplished
by any one without as istance, and that
nothing save the point OF a penknfe or q
sharp splint OF wood is requiIel In the way
Of appliances. For the benefit of those who
may be disposed 10 essay the operation o!
self.infiation, it may be seid that the point
where the puncture should DO made is in the
aangle formed between the gum of tho lower
Jaw and the side OF the under lip or cheek
about opposite the first molar tooth of the
lower jaw. The point of the psrforating In
strument should be passed down q short dis
tance between the skin Of the side of the face
and the superficial fascia Of the neck care
being taken not to puncture the skin OF the
fascia."
Here we have simple process which may
be termed In its effects, EVERY man his own
life preserver," and which can be male at
moments notics. can be carried every where
without incumbrance. and Is effective In all
climates. and all weathers. As there may
be some difficulty in puncturiny the nesdei
opening so as not TO interfere with the skin
OF the face and the superficial fa>cia of the
neck, there might be schools opened for in.
struction in this process Of puncturiny. So
